Comment on “The sting of a hornet”; Edwardian hat-pin self defence by joe nawrozki

hat pins are unorthodox, effective weapons for self defense…women don’t need to wear a hat…just hide it stuck on the inside of a coat collar, in the strap of a hand bag…know where to strike…and wa-la…surprise, surprise.

Dear Sir,

I work on the films for BBC’s The One Show and we would like to make a short film about Bartitsu. It would be great if we could come and film a Bartitsu fight and interview one or two people about the martial art.

Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in and we will discuss this further.

Yours faithfully,

Will

Thanks very much for helping to promote this workshop! We are excited about Professor Donnelly’s second NYC Bartitsu seminar, and expect to offer a third in July 2012. I will certainly be at his workshops at Steampunk World’s Fair as well.

I was amazed at the amount of learning in one short day. The exercises from the beginning (body awareness and movement) weren’t just “static” but referred to later on in the course of practice and really built on each other. I look forward to the six week course coming up!

Comment on The substance of style: a review of the martial arts action in “Sherlock Holmes – A Game of Shadows” by Dave B

Dave B — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:19:33 +0000

Excellent review.
Just a note to say that I thought that the Holmes-O-Vision was a fantastic device. It allows you to see what is going on in detail, then see it at speed. This reminded me of the way the technique the royal armouries interpreters use, breaking down and explaining a sequence of combat and then demonstrating it at speed. Importantly though it makes the point that Holmes success is due to mental preparedness and tactical awareness rather than any ‘superhuman’ strength or speed.
